Brazil’s congress approves bill reducing prison sentence of former president Jair Bolsonaro

Brazil's congress overturned President Lula's veto Thursday, approving a bill reducing former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro's coup conviction sentence from 27 years to 22 years. The lower house voted 318-257 and the senate 49-41, both exceeding required margins. If confirmed by the supreme court, Bolsonaro could move to an open prison regime by 2028.
